Pope Francis
has defended his words of consolation to U.S. bishops over the priest
sex abuse scandal but says — for the first time — that those who covered
up for abusers are guilty of wrongdoing.
In a wide-ranging press conference en route to Rome from his first-ever visit to the United States, Francis also declared conscientious objection a "human right," explained his admiration for American nuns and discussed his own star power, which was fully on display during his six-day, three-city tour.
